Superglue on the gasket and remembering that the gasket goes on first two simple tips that no one else seem to include in their videos but made yours. The one that help me finish my replacement. Thank you, I’m giving you a thumbs up and I’m going to subscribe!
Life of a plug (regardless of brand / type) varies, depending on multiple factors: Climate conditions, how the vehicle is driven, what octane fuel is used, how the four key components of the internal combustion engine are functioning (air, fuel, fire, exhaust), etc. Too little or too much air, too little or too much fuel, ignition components not functioning properly to create optimum spark, exhaust leak / bad muffler / clogged cat, bad O2 sensor(s), etc., all dictate life of the plugs. When in doubt, pull a plug that is easy to get to and inspect it to see if the electrodes are eroded, insulator is cracked or it is too rich or too lean.
Did they break off flush, or are they sticking up a bit? If up, you can try welding fresh bolt heads on them so you can get them out, or clamp a vice grip on the tip and try to remove them. If flush, you will either need to try a back-out bit, or drill them out carefully, so you can insert helicoils and then thread in new bolts. Only other option is a new intake :(
No. I have on other vehicles, but not that one. Depending on vehicle, it is either an independent part that can be removed and replaced (hopefully, if you don't destroy the threads removing it), while others are part of the intake. I had to do a 4.6 mustang intake replacement because the inlet cracked at the base. Much easier to unscrew the bad and screw in the new. Unless, like I said, it goes wrong and you end up having to replace the manifold anyway.
Bueno ahora si pude comentar el vídeo de 4 min ni pude comentar pero aquí si puede comentar y voy a ver todo este rico mole o adobo mm quedará rico 🤤 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You are a good ol boy my man. I did it basically the same way. I miss the days of correctly oriented engines. But Love my 2006 Hindgrinder. Calgary Canada
Thanks man. Appreciate your help. Nice looking jeep. Comment back if you can on your new gas mileage as my ZJ 5.9 is getting 6-8 mpg with premium and new injectors.
Hi Matthew. Thanks :) I drive Beastie like I stole her, lol. On weeks when my foot is always heavy, I get about 13.5 and weeks when I ease up a little I get 15. I can only run premium because of the custom factory tune.
I did change mine a while back and it sent a code almost a month later about engine running to cold and 2 years later as of yesterday 10/30 it running hotter than normal and by the time I got home it was over heating and steam/ vapors coming from the engine, considering going back to 195 degrees to eliminate the code this time
Okay I got a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 it's been overheating on me I took the thermostat out put a new radiator cap in it new fluid but it's still overheating without a thermostat in it can you please help me out thank you
Hey Joey. I'm sorry to hear it. It could be any of several problems. How long has the overheat problem been going on? Did it happen suddenly or gradually? Have you added anything to your radiator, such as radiator leak seal, head gasket repair, etc? Are you sure you got the right thermostat for your truck? And while I know it seems like a silly question this time of year... does your heater blow hot air? Your radiator or heater core may be clogged. Also (sorry to ask, but...) do you have the correct mix of coolant and water in your system and did you fill it cold, then run it with the cap off until it warmed up, then top off the fluid? Is everything else good? How long since your last oil change? Plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor button all good? Is your air filter clean? Is your serpentine belt good... tight? Is your fan clutch good and spinning your fan like a champ? Is your fan shroud intact, top and bottom? Give me some feedback and I'll do my best to help you out.
What's happening is my bottom radiator hose it gets fat like if no water is actually getting to the motor cuz everything is Flowing my radiator but when it gets going to from the radiator to the motor it's not to me seems like it's not receiving no antifreeze to the motor and once again my bottom radiator hose swells up without a thermostat do you know what the problem is
@@joeysoler5535 hard to say without being able to see it and having answers to questions. But it is most likely a clogged radiator and / or heater core. I would usually suggest attempting a flush before replacement, but if you have no coolant at all flowing through the lower hose, that would suggest a pretty severe clog. You can get a new radiator at Advance Auto for between $170 and $251, depending on which one you get. It is a pretty straight forward job.
At the cost of another hours worth of work you can break the trim loose around the rear of the vehicle and peel the whole carpet up that way you don't have to see that seam every time you look in the back. I'm on my 5th Jeep Grand Cherokee this one is the 5.9 limited. I have done this three times To zj's. Also something to be careful of when using any drill to pump the old gas out. The motor in a drill Sparks constantly when running if you're far enough away from the gas tank no worries if you're right next to it you could cause a flash explosion just a disclaimer from experience. That's a good looking 5.9 take care of her sir there are not many left.
Thanks for your excellent comment! I should have mentioned about keeping distance if using the drill instead of sump to evacuate the tank! And great tip on the carpet! Thanks Mike!
I just did this on Friday, wasn't too bad. Also changed 2' of the heater hose closest to the engine as well since I was in there and it was soft. Took me about an hour total, I spent some time cleaning up the surface as someone has used gasket maker and a gasket last and of was a big mess. Also running the 180F thermostat, even here in Canada it makes enough heat for the winter.
Very good video, i have a 2006 highlander 414660 miles on it I have did most of my own work so far.I have to change the plunges in it I changed the front I don’t look forward to get the firewall side. Will try when it gets warm again.
The 2003 is the last year that they put the 5.9/360 in these trucks. The history of the progression and transition is actually very interesting. You should read about it.
You can skip taking off the throttle if you want. It isnt pretty but by loosening all the bolts to it, besides the bracket bolt, you can lift up the intake manifold to get your hand in there to do all three, it is slow going and this vehicle is a real pain in the ass to deal with at times when it comes to maintenance.
Thanks for your comment and the tip. I bought this vehicle new, still have it and have been the only one to ever turn a wrench on her. Yes, anything in the engine compartment is a real chore and some suspension parts as well. But it has been very reliable and we have zero regrets with our purchase in 17 years.
@@justinloxley7300 You are doing it the correct way, it is a good breakdown. I am lazy and time is limited haha. It is a good vehicle and they definitely are reliable.
@@justinloxley7300 j'ai une camry v6 année 2000 ya un capteur sur la culasses avant et un capteur sur la culasse arrière mais il y a une seule fiche de capteur je voulait savoir le quel doit être branché sur la fiche
@@moussakone6958 Il ne devrait y avoir qu'un seul capteur de position d'arbre à cames. Je ne sais pas comment vous aider sans plus d'informations et de photos. Si vous pouvez fournir cela, je ferai de mon mieux. En outre, vous pouvez aller au magasin de pièces automobiles et acheter un manuel Haynes pour votre voiture. C'est un must have et répondra probablement à votre question plus rapidement que je ne peux à ce stade.
me acabo de suscribir. MaestroTengo una Dodge Ram 2500 motor 5.7 Hemi q ayer hice unos acelerones para probar el silenciador, y luego veo q empezó a burbujear el refrigerante dentro del depósito del mismo, hirviendo,. pero la temperatura se mantuvo en estado normal, no se recalento!. Que sera???? abe mencionar q tiene recientemente hace 6 meses cambio de gomas de valvulaa y se cambiaron todos los.empaques nuevos. mi termostato esta directo le abrieron huecos porque esta dañado,. pero tiene años asi pero la falla empezo ayer.
Socket set, long and short extensions, swivel, screwdrivers, (small mirror or inspection camera would be helpful), band-aids, loud music, beer and a lot of time and patience.
Thanks I plan on doing this exact project Friday. Question, what's your thought on using very small amount of gasket sealer on the gasket? I know the risk is you don't want to get sealer in your thermostat. Your thoughts?
I am thinking about buying a used Highlander with that same V6. Looks like a pain, but I have seen worse. You did a great job on this video. Thumbs up!
Hey there my 5.9 magnum looks like its leaking at this spot, its leaking so bad , and really wet by the water pump. Also having heater core symptoms, windows fogging up with heat on with antifreeze fumes. Can u help me?
Hello Tyga. Did you have a specific question that I can (try) to answer for you? Unfortunately, I did not produce a video when I did a complete front end tear down to replace timing gear and chains and water pump. And for the heater core, you have to remove the ENTIRE dash to replace it. Any chance it is just the hose that is leaking and not a damaged pump? And did you by any chance put any type of sealant (radiator or head gasket) into the radiator? If so, this more than likely clogged up your heater core which will cause the odor as well as the heat / defrost will not work.
Thank you. I did that while I was at it as well as changed the air filter, oil and oil filter. I guess I should have addressed that, but was focused on trying to help people with the plugs. I will try to be more aware and offer additional tips on other projects that are easier to do while doing the main project if I do any more videos. I have become slack as hell lately. I have done at least a dozen major projects on multiple vehicles since this one and just keep forgetting to record them. I appreciate the input and insight.
@@justinloxley7300 No worries. What you did do is much appreciated, just sharing with newbies like me that there was an opportunity to compound benefits with minimal marginal cost.
I'm sorry, Kris. I was referring to the order in which I did the plugs and not the firing order. I apologize if I wasn't clear and caused you any problems with your project.
I watched your video an appreciate your indepth detail an advice too..I had this done on my truck same motor as yours in video at a professional garage .. 180 high flow thermostat new gasket new steel housing .. had to take back for second time as it was leaking at gasket I’m onto intake right behind thermostat lip.. An I had no heat at all, blows cold air on defrost turned all way to hot temp.. I took backnto them ..they redid there work apparently so they say .. it still leaks same place an they say it had heat too.. when I drive it home no heat at all again cold air outa defrost.. they say they bled system .. only thing you didn’t show was did you have to bleed system ? An how does one do that .. I have serious health condition but would like to attempt to fix this problem of leaking an heat issue myself but only have to do once hopefully an have it done an done right .. appreciate your input an advice muchly thanks 👍🙏
My housing came with a black fiber gasket but there was also a felpro gasket included too. I am confused which one to use or both. Thanks for the video.
@@justinloxley7300 Thanks. I still have not completed the repair yet because I am having a hard time getting the rest of the old gasket residue off. I kind of figured I should only use one of the gaskets.
@@mysterybuyer3738 I would try putting the old thermostat back in place if you have it, or a rag to protect the inlet, then apply a generous amount of goof off, goo gone or similar mild solvent to the remaining gasket. Let it really soak in, then remove the remnants with a razor blade. Good luck!
A fine grit sand paper works nice if you can get your fingers in there once you get all the old crap off just use a really fine sandpaper to clean it up.
Please I need help, my 2003 dodge ram 1500 runs hot when im driving but whenever i stop...the gauge goes back up to normal until i drive again. I constantly have to add oil (havent seen any leaks) and have to add coolant (again, no leaks) Any advice?? I have to drive for 2 hours tomorrow and dont know what to do!!!
I rarely use form-a-gasket / sealant. I scrape the metal clean with a razor or wire brush, making sure to remove all old residue, then install a new fel-pro gasket. I've never had an issue. If the housing is severely pitted, then I replace it. If the metal on the intake is pitted, then I might use some form-a-gasket.
Quick question I just replaced my thermostat truck temp was running hot sometimes so I put in a new one drive it for 3 miles and started to over heat hoses are tightened down everything looks good not sure what’s going on I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 5.7
My sincere apologies, William. I have been in a [figurative] coma for months and just now saw this. 1 - Are you running a 50/50 mixture of coolant / anti-freeze and water? 2 - Your radiator might be clogged up. 3 - Every once in a while, even a new thermostat can be defective. The only true way to check is to put the thermostat in a pot of water on the stove. Set the temp on the stove just above the temp of the thermostat. Once the stove reaches that temp, you will be able to see if the thermostat opens. If not, it is bad and needs replaced. 4 - Do you have an electric fan or pulley-driven clutch fan? If electric, make sure it is functioning. If clutch, the spring might be worn out. I'm guessing that after 2 months, you have already found your answer, but wanted to reply for the sake of others and to apologize to you for not being there when you needed an answer. I really am sorry.
